Father: James Scovill (b. 19 March 1764, d. 26 November 1825)
Mother: Alathea Lamson (b. 16 January 1766, d. 1 January 1846)

Biography

James Mitchell Lamson Scovill was born on 4 September 1789 in Waterbury, Connecticut.
Mr. Scovill was a shopkeeper at age 19 and a peddler of gilt buttons by age 22. He traveled from Boston to Baltimore selling the products of the company he and his brother, William (William Henry Scovill b 27 Jul 1796 Waterbury), built in the Scovill Manufacturing Company. James Scovill lived in a house with his mother and sisters that stood where the Elton Hotel is today. The house included a parlor, sitting room and library, a dining room, a front hall, pantry, kitchen, wash room and veranda, bed room, dressing room and bathing room all on the first floor; 12 rooms upstairs and a cow and a calf in the barn in the back yard.¹
He married Sarah Ann Merriman on 9 October 1849 in Watertown, Connecticut.²
James and Sarah had 3 children.³
He died on 16 May 1857 in Waterbury, Connecticut, at age 67.²

Story

James M. L. Scovill was the first of the descendants of the Rev. James Scovil to add the second 'l' to his name. In early life he had used but one, and was generally called Lamson Scovill. He was one of the most energetic and successful pioneers of manufacturing in Waterbury. At the age of seventeen he entered the store of his father as a clerk, having doubtless already gained some experience. At nineteen he was in business for himself and on Sept. 19, 1811, at the age of twenty-two he became one of the firm of Leavenworth, Hayden & Scovill, at the time when they purchased the gilt button business of Abel Porter & Co.

Mr. Scovill was a man of fine physique and indomitable energy and perseverance. He had a retentive memory, a ready address, a hearty manner united with a certain dignity of bearing, that begat confidence and made a favorable impression. His place was in the market, and for many years in New York, Pheladelphia, Baltimore, and Boston he was a familiar figure. He was quick and generous in his sympathies, easily moved by the sight of suffering, or by accounts of it, quick to rescue when aid was possible, and equally indignant a the cause of it when that cause was to be reached.

It was not long before his death that he left his horse standing in the middle of the road to lay his whip over the shoulders of a man in a field near-by who appeared to be treating a boy with uncalled for severity, although it was the man's own son. He was, as this would indicate, somewhat impetuous in his nature, but his impulses were so clearly on the right side and his courage so undaunted that his impetuosity seldom, perhaps never, led him into the tedium of a monotonous life by escapades of an intensely practical nature, of which the 'bear' story is the most amusing.

Bronson in his 'History of Waterbury' speaks of him as follows: 'The present manufacturing interests of Waterbury are perhaps more indebted to Lamson Scovill than to any other man. He was bold, energetic and sagacious. So soon as he got strength of his own, he was ready to lend assistance to others. Many enterprises have been carried forward to a successful result by his kindly aid. Not only his relations but his friends in the largest sense shared his prosperity. His own generous impulses he did not hesitate to follow, even when indulgence was expensive. He was a large hearted man, with social, kindly feelings. Few man have been more respected or beloved. He was a member and a liberal benefactor of St. John's Church. He and his brother William endowed the Scovill professorship in Trinity College. He made a home for his mother and widowed sisters which was his home when in town; and then, when one after another had left, and he had to some extent given up active business, he married.
